buying problems.
I cannot leave stores without buying something, or I feel like crap the rest of the day! It is so annoying!
I just spent two hours in a small anime store because I did not see something instantly worth buying. I ended up leaving with a box of freaking pocky and that does not last.
what the hell?

I believe you have a shopping addiction, my friend.
There really is such thing.
Honestly, try and see a counselor about this. It seems to be some sort of OCD, but it can easily be fixed with cognitive therapy.

I don’t really go out and buy things often and I can be really stingy with my money!
it’s just that I get really pissed off when i go home with nothing!
I went to six flags and spent seventy dollars on one of those stacker machines to win a DS when I already have a perfectly fine one.
and i did not win.
I spent my entire income of that week on something I did not even win
shopping addiction its common try to get some help from someone you know or somthin
Oh man, that really sucks. As I said, go and see a counselor. The stacker machine thing could be signs of a gambling addiction forming, and you dont want one of those because it gets a lot worse than $70/week when you have more than that as well as bills that need paying.

my mom did not seem to take it seriously.
I would still be in that store if my easily distracted and bored dad did not make me leave.
I would go to something and pick it up like “oh cool!” then check the price tag and be like “but it is so expensive!” then the other part would be like “but it is soo cool!” then they would argue like that untill i put it back down, concluding I don’t need it, then go directly to something else and repeat it and then I would keep doing that till the side that wants me to buy it wins.

Man, your going to end up with a house full of **** if you continue on like that…
I think you need to try and talk to someone.
Usually at the beginning, nobody views it as a problem because it hasn’t gotten ‘bad’ yet.

already have it
have someone else hold your wallet for you, make it so you don’t buy so much junk, hold you on a time limit for how long you can stay in the store.

I tried that once, the elephant broke the bed, crushed the rabbits hiding under it, the hobos I had were drunk and pissed on my computer…. It shorted out, set my desk on fire, spooked the elephant, demolished my house…

so that should’ve covered your floor with ****
Yes, but the weight of the elephant smashing around, coupled with the weakening on the supports due to fire made my room crash own into the basement.
Garfield135 wrote:
oh… wow… ok… do i even have to ask if your basement was full of ****?
It formerly was immaculate, as the door to the basement was jammed, and I never have been able to get in.
I sent you a box of crap ikari.
The shipping was 300 bucks, i told em you would take care of it.

That explains the dump truck making that special delivery to me…
And I pulled that and threw it down a public toliet and ran…
Alas, that much Crap, while very helpful, was not enough.
I feel you man. I always drop into best buy and look at all the latest gear. I usually don’t buy anything, I always feel like I should have. You just need to learn discipline and restraint. When I was younger If I wanted somethin, like a cd player, now don’t forget this was back when they cost over $400, rather than spend every penny I had to get it, I would set aside a little money each wek for several weeks until I could make the purchase without it having a negative effect on my cash flow. Give it a try. I t ac tually feels better knowing that you work hard to get something than yto just go get it. At least that has been my experience.
